00:00Hi, welcome back to my channel, in this video, I will explain the ending of The First Omen,

00:04so let's begin, please be aware the video contains spoilers, viewer discretion advised.

00:10The First Omen is a 2024 American supernatural horror film directed by R. Gosha Stevenson,

00:15who co-wrote the screenplay with Tim Smith and Keith Thomas from a story by Ben Jacobi.

00:19It is a prequel to The Omen, 1976, and the sixth film in The Omen franchise.

00:25The film follows a young woman who goes to Rome to become a nun but begins to question

00:28her faith after encountering a terrifying darkness that aims to spawn an evil incarnate.

00:33As the movie begins, the religious motif is addressed at once through choric songs, tolling

00:37bells playing in the background as we see a young Father Brennan, an older version of

00:41whom appears in the first movie, hearing the confession of a veteran priest, Father Harris,

00:45who mentions an ominous childbirth he had witnessed.

00:48According to Harris's account, a volunteer was chosen to be impregnated by the biblically

00:52beast, the Fallen One, which resulted in the birth of a girl child named Shanna.

00:57Harris gives Brennan a picture of the child, accompanied by other priests, Spoleto from

01:01the first movie is one of them, and nuns, and describes the child, who has possibly

01:05grown up to be a teenager now, as the harbinger of evil.

01:08A guilt-ridden Father Harris avoids explaining further as the horrifying memories of the

01:12past continue to torment him, and all of a sudden, he meets a vicious accident in the

01:16churchyard that mutilates part of his head, as if in a form of divine punishment.

01:20Harris's meaningful wince as a reaction carries a vile foreboding, which sets up the tone

01:24for the rest of the movie.

01:26The scene shifts to Rome in 1971, as we see Cardinal Lawrence welcoming Margaret Dyma,

01:31an American novitiate who will be taking the veil as a sister in the all-girl Vizzardelli

01:35Orphanage the Cardinal runs.

01:37As an orphan herself, Margaret grew up in missionary orphanages and had a troubled childhood,

01:42as she often found herself plagued by troubling visions.

01:45Due to this, Margaret had been unfairly disciplined for a certain time, until a visiting Cardinal

01:49Lawrence showed her kindness, allowing her to overcome the childhood trauma and fear.

01:54At Vizzardelli Orphanage, Margaret meets the abbess sister Sylva, and as she shows

01:58Margaret around the orphanage premises, they come across a strange-behaving sister Angelica.

02:02Later, as Sylva leaves for a moment, Margaret meets a teenage orphan girl, Carlita, who

02:07is seemingly isolated from the rest of the kids.

02:10Margaret is impressed by the unique, borderline creepy, imagination Carlita's drawings capture

02:14and wants to befriend her, but the girl appears to be hostile and awkward.

02:19Margaret is shocked to learn that Carlita gets confined to a solitary room as a form

02:22of punishment for her demeanor.

02:24Returning to her quarters, Margaret finds herself momentarily haunted by childhood

02:28trauma before meeting with her roommate and fellow novitiate Illuz.

02:32Margaret quickly befriends an outgoing, flamboyant Luz, perhaps because her own cloistered upbringing

02:37has never allowed her to have a taste of life outside the shackles of missionary orphanages.

02:42Before taking the veil and becoming a sister, Luz wants to live the last days of her freedom

02:46in the best way possible, and she tries to instill the same spirit in Margaret as well.

02:50Luz takes Margaret to a nightclub, where, after a bout of drinking and dancing, Margaret

02:54gets intimate with a certain Paolo.

02:57The next day, Margaret finds herself back in her quarters, where Luz carried her after

03:00she passed out previously.

03:03At the orphanage, Margaret tries to befriend Carlita as she sympathizes with her due to

03:06having a common experience as a troubled child herself, and eventually learns that Carlita

03:11is often haunted by ominous visions as well.

03:13However, Margaret herself seemingly hasn't recovered from her past experiences, as while

03:18witnessing childbirth, she starts hallucinating demonic influences, and once again, she passes

03:23out.

03:24During city sightseeing, Margaret is visited by Father Brennan, who warns her about Shanna

03:28Carlita, mentioning her presence will result in evil occurrences around the orphanage.

03:32He also mentions that he knows that she is an outsider and instructs her not to believe

03:36anyone at the orphanage.

03:38Brennan provides his address to Margaret and asks her to visit to learn the whole story.

03:42Did Margaret find Carlita's birth records?

03:45Later, Margaret observes Sister Angelica acting strangely around Carlita and gets taken

03:49aback after seeing a sketch the duo has made.

03:52As she expresses her annoyance, Angelica displays even stranger behavior and leaves the place.

03:58Margaret tries to associate Carlita with the rest of the children, and while doing so,

04:01they get abruptly interrupted moments later by a horrendous sight.

04:05Sister Angelica immolates and hangs herself from atop the orphanage building after uttering

04:09that it's all for her, and the scene is a near-exact recreation of Damien's first

04:13nanny's suicide in the omen, 1976.

04:16The incident shakes Margaret to her core, and she decides to go to Father Brennan to

04:20seek answers.

04:21Brennan states that he was formerly a member of the orphanage before getting excommunicated

04:25after learning something terrible.

04:27He informs her that the orphanage is part of an all-powerful secret sect of the Roman

04:31Catholic Church, which has historically maintained the power of faith through abhorrent, blasphemous

04:35means for thousands of years.

04:37In an age where scientific advancements, the post-World War II crisis, and the overall

04:41geopolitical situation have turned a new generation away from faith, the secret sect

04:45is afraid of losing power over the masses and religion fading into obscurity.

04:50Which is why they have been engaged in despicable arrangements to ensure the birth of the Antichrist

04:54by impregnating women with Satan, manifested as a demonic jackal-like beast on the mortal

04:58plane.

04:59The prophesied Antichrist is said to be a male child, which the sect believes will take

05:03birth if Satan mates with one of its offspring, whom the sect has tried to breed through malevolent

05:07means.

05:08The sect aims to induce just enough fear and darkness through the Antichrist so that the

05:12church once again regains its dominance over the minds of people.

05:16Brennan believes Shanna Carlita is the only surviving child of Satan, and in due time,

05:20the sect will use her to bear the Antichrist, who will bring hell upon earth.

05:24Margaret shrugs off Brennan's concerns by terming him a lunatic, and she prepares to

05:27leave.

05:28However, before she departs, Brennan asks her to verify his words on her own by seeking

05:33out Carlita's birth records, which are stashed away in the basement of the orphanage, and

05:37looking for the mark of the evil, 666, inscribed somewhere on her body.

05:42Margaret doesn't believe in Brennan's claims but still seems curious to learn about Carlita's

05:45birth history, and she asks the only person in the orphanage she somewhat trusts, Father

05:49Gabriel.

05:51Failing to find any information from him, Margaret questions Carlita, who momentarily

05:55gets dejected after Margaret implies her experiences of ominous visions as tricks of the mind.

06:00Margaret's attempts to learn more about Carlita are frowned upon by Silva and the other sisters

06:04of the orphanage.

06:06During a riot, when Margaret gets caught up in the crowd, she experiences vivid hallucinations

06:10of getting assaulted by demonic entities, which are witnessed by Sister Silva, and she

06:14starts questioning Margaret's state of mind.

06:17Silva later summons Margaret to let her know that the authorities have decided to delay

06:20her pledging ceremony as she hasn't recovered mentally and asks her to keep her distance

06:24from Carlita.

06:25An anguished Margaret lashes out and blames the authorities for Carlita's predicament

06:29as a troubled child.

06:30Later, Margaret spots Paolo on the streets and finds it offensive to see him avoiding

06:35her, getting scared at her sight.

06:37Margaret pursues him, and Paolo cryptically asks her to seek the mark, before getting

06:41involved in a gnarly car accident.

06:43In an effort to save him, Margaret accidentally severs his body in two and gets horrified

06:48at the sight as Paolo breathes his last.

06:51During Luz's pledge ceremony, Margaret sneaks off and finds an entry to the orphanage basement

06:55through a secret door in Silva's office.

06:58Margaret finds out about fourteen files on girls named Shanna, each of whom was bred

07:01as Satan's offspring, and almost all of them perished as grotesque, disfigured abominations.

07:07One of them survived, whom the orphanage reared up, and a terrified Margaret decides to take

07:11the information back to Brennan.

07:13However, she gets caught by Silva and the rest of the veteran sisters, who drag her

07:17away to solitary confinement.

07:20Before getting locked up, Margaret notices the A666 mark inside Carlita's mouth, which

07:25confirms Brennan's suspicion.

07:27Did Margaret stop the Antichrist's birth?

07:30In captivity, Margaret sees horrifying visions of a burned-up sister Angelica, and later,

07:34Father Gabriel rescues her from confinement.

07:37As Gabriel takes the files along with him and takes Margaret to Brennan, he reveals

07:41that he was formerly informed by Brennan about the situation, but like Margaret herself,

07:45he too disbelieved his words.

07:47Upon reaching Brennan's quarters, the trio starts looking into the files, and Margaret

07:51pleads with Brennan to help Carlita.

07:54He states that their only way forward has to be to expose the sect and bring their crimes

07:57to light, as any attempt to rescue Carlita will inevitably result in their capture.

08:02A disappointed Margaret continues to look into the files for a possible means to help

08:06Carlita and notices that Brennan's picture of the baby shows the ominous mark of evil

08:09on the head, which is not where Carlita's mark appeared.

08:12The surviving child's picture in the files doesn't match Brennan's picture as well,

08:16which signifies that there was another surviving child of Satan.

08:20Margaret's suspicion is confirmed as Shanna V turns out to be another survivor, and it

08:23turns out Brennan's picture was taken from her file.

08:27A terrible revelation hits Margaret as Paolo's last words come to her mind, and she realizes

08:31that it is she who is another survivor.

08:34In a flash, Margaret sees a hidden memory where she was forced into getting impregnated

08:37by the demonic beast, and the incident was witnessed by Paolo, who was a member of the

08:41sect as well.

08:43Carlita was a fail-safe for the orphanage, while the true victim was Margaret herself

08:46all along, who was groomed to become the mother of the Antichrist.

08:50Brennan confirms Margaret's suspicion by identifying the mark on her head, and upon her request,

08:55he offers to abort whatever might be still inside her womb.

08:58As Brennan, Gabriel, and Margaret are driven to a doctor, their car meets a ghastly accident,

09:03and Margaret comes out unscathed.

09:05Like a possessed woman, she starts viciously convulsing like an animal, within a moment's

09:09notice, Margaret's womb inflates, and her water breaks.

09:13The physical and mental stress causes Margaret to lose her consciousness, and upon waking

09:17up, she finds all the members of the orphanage, including Silva, Cardinal Lawrence, and Luz,

09:22surrounding her in a subterranean catacomb.

09:24Lawrence reassures Margaret, stating that she is doing the Lord's work and that he has

09:28protected her all through her life for this moment.

09:31A hapless Margaret pleads for help, but her cries go unnoticed as she is operated on while

09:35being strapped to a pedestal.

09:37The sect members wait in anticipation as Margaret gives birth to a girl and the prophesied Antichrist,

09:42a boy child.

09:43As the birth of evil is celebrated, Margaret prepares for a last-ditch attempt to undo

09:47their vile machination as she stabs Lawrence to death and nearly stabs her son as well.

09:52However, Margaret fails to do so, prompting Silva to snatch the boy off of her and Luz

09:56to stab Margaret.

09:58The orphanage members leave the catacombs, leaving Margaret and her girl child behind,

10:02and set the place on fire to destroy all the evidence.

10:05However, Carlita, who witnessed the events unfold secretly, arrives at the last moment

10:10to rescue Margaret and the girl child and take them outside to safety.

10:14Luz and Silva are entrusted to carry the child to the United States Ambassador in Rome, Robert

10:18Thorn, and orchestrate the death of his newborn to ensure the adoption of the Antichrist by

10:22his family.

10:24The boy is destined to use the power and privilege of the family to spread darkness all over

10:28the world, as we know, this begins to take place during the events of the Omen, 1976.

10:34During the first Omen's ending, Margaret, her daughter, and Carlita are revealed to

10:37be living in a secluded establishment in the wilderness, and they have moved on from the

10:41horrors of the past.

10:43Father Brennan makes a visit to inform Margaret that the sect has learned about their survival,

10:47and they will try to hunt them down as Margaret's daughter might play an integral role in stopping

10:50the havoc the Antichrist will wreak in the near future.

10:53Brennan mentions that the Antichrist, Margaret's son, is known as Damien, establishing the

10:58connection to the events of the Omen movie franchise.

11:01However, the survival of Margaret and her daughter turned out to be a retcon in the

11:05original series, where no mention of their existence was made.

11:09This opens up the possibility of a continuation of the franchise in a different direction,

11:13as we might find the duo in a conflict with Damien, creating an alternate future from

11:17what the main series showcased.

11:19That's all for now folks, I would appreciate it if you could give the video a super thanks
